Beaches in Massachusetts

It is officially summertime!!! That means sun and swimming!
When we were kids, Plum Island was a favorite destination. It was relatively quiet, and so beautiful. Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester has seen a lot of us over the summers – it is truly beautiful there.
Church’s Beach, Cuttyhunk Island is listed on Islands.com 30 Best Undiscovered Beaches:
Church’s beach, Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts- Hitch a ride on a golf cart to the Cuttyhunk Yacht Club and then follow the sand road (pick a few wildflowers along the way) to Church’s Beach. This west-facing strand is great for late-day rays and sunsets. Gentle waves make for good swimming.
We have spent several wonderful summers exploring the Massachusetts State Park System on very short money – the price of a summer membership is $35 per year for MA residents.
Or check out this trail journal – we go swimming in the Squannacook (although we set down in a different spot) and can vouch for how fun the rope swing is.
